Would like to reply to your email, but it seems that all .gov and
contractors are blocking "adelphia.com" sources. Seems that they

spammer domains.

If stealth makes long distance RF AAMs ineffective, and laser blinding
makes IR AAMs ineffective, wouldn't we back to the gunfights of WW1?
If the aircraft are stealthy, how do they find each other for the
dogfight?
